✜034 [voice]

[The audio starts broadcasting the gentle sounds of the outdoors long before she speaks. Her voice is a little raw. She's been crying, but she's trying not to let it sound.]

Hello.

[Another long pause.]

I'm sorry I'm not contacting everyone individually. I'm not sure who they know well. ...Knew.

[There's another pause, but this time when she returns her voice is a little shakier. All the practice and control in the world can't take the pain out of these words.]

My brother, Lelouch, and sister, Nunnally, have left the City.

[It sounds like she might say more, but after a moment the audio shuts off.]


(OOC: Forward dated to late morning. Euphie is in Xanadu curled up behind a tree if anyone wants to action at her.)

Thank you.

Do you have siblings, Reid? [She didn't think so.]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

No. I'm an only child. I asked my Mom once why she didn't have more children. She said she didn't want to mess with perfection. I think the truth was closer to she couldn't or didn't want to go through all the problems she had while she was pregnant with me. She had to stop taking her medicine for the entire time she was pregnant.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe it was a little of both. It sounds like she loves you very much. I'm sure she was glad to do it, so that you'd be healthy.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

She does. I sort of always wondered what it'd be like to have one at least. You've got a number of siblings don't you? Where do you fall in the order of them?

[deadly_legacy]

Yes. We have a big family. My father has 108 wives. [So nonchalant.] I'm in the middle or so I think.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

Oh. Wo-ow.

[deadly_legacy]

It's unusual even in my world. But it's all I've ever known.

...There are only a few I'm very close to. We grew up around each other. I spent most of my time with Lelouch, Nunnally, and Cornelia of course.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

You can only make so many close attachments so that makes sense that you'd connect more closely with only a few of them.

Were you close to any of the mothers besides your own?

[deadly_legacy]

Ah... I didn't know my mother. I guess I was closest to Lelouch and Nunnally's. [But it wasn't all that close either.] Cornelia always looked up to her.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--you had your siblings though and that's good. It doesn't really matter who you have that you're close to I don't think as long as there's someone and you're not alone.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes... I think that's so. [Since now she has her knight and her friends only.]

I've never been without my family before. Not completely.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

You've got friends here though and really family is more a group of people you feel connected to; people you can trust and feel safe with. Blood relation plays a small part in that in my opinion. It's just a place to start.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes... You're right. [She just felt closest to Lelouch.]
